has rendered decision on the cases grow
ing out of the prohibitory laws Of Kansas
and Iowa, holding that state has the
power to pass and enforce such laws with
out being liable for compensation for such
property as might be rendered valueless
BY virtue Of the passage and enforcement
Of such laws. This is an important VIC
tory for the Prohibitionists, as had the de-
ciSion been otherwise ID would have very
materially weakened the voting strength of
that party, on account of necessary in
crease of taxation to compensate owners
Of property that had been rendered value
